Jquery script doesn't work in IE... help!

Jquery script doesn't work in IE... help!

I have adjusted a script I found in a magazine, but it doesn't work in internet explorer (the page isn't being drawn properly at all)

Any help would be appreciated.

Code in question is:

            // page swapping mumbo jumbo

     $(document).ready(function(){ 

            // allow clicking on the icons on the home screen

      $('#issue>ul>a').click(function(){ 

            // when clicked fade current out and chosen article in

      $('#issue>div').fadeOut(250).filter(this.hash).fadeIn(250);

       return false; 

      }); 

            // at the beginning hide everything but the first one

      $('#issue>div').css('position','absolute').not('first').hide(); 

     }); 

            // allow an icon to return to main screen

    $(document).ready(function(){ 

      $('.mainmenu>a').click(function(){ 

      $('#issue>div').fadeOut(250);

        return false; 

      }); 

      $('#issue>div').css('position','absolute').hide(); 

     }); 



This is for an open source magazine publishing engine to get content onto the ipad/iphone/android, but a certain amount of users will also be on IE. The system works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox properly.


You can see an example (with all files used) here: http://straathof.acadnet.ca/beta5.0/


Thanks for any help...
